Death Rock

Death Rock is coined from the 2009 Nicholas Cage movie "Knowing" where shiny black rocks were found in close vicinity to death victims.

Death Rock is known to deliver grave mishap to the person carrying this cursed item. Confessions include late, delayed or cancelled flights, being shat upon by birds, bitten by a poisonous spider, lightning striking a plane in mid flight, buses catching on fire as well as other unfortunate, but undisclosed misfortunes.

If Death Rock is in your possession, you may not destroy or lose it (you are the temporary bearer of this burden). You can volunteer (for example, slip this into their luggage, bag or purse) another soul to carry this burden but the same rules apply and the receiver must be aware of the rules.
"Did you hear that Dan M now has the Death Rock?" "No kidding?! That poor, sad bastard."

A dead drop is a location used to secretly pass items between two people, without requiring them to meet.

Spies have been known to use dead drops, using various techniques to hide the items and to signal that the drop has been made. Drug dealers use this as well.

A common place is to duct tape the item to the underside of a toilet cover in a public restroom.

A signal is sometimes used as well to indicate there is something to pickup, like a pile of stones in a certain formation. After checking the drop the signal is removed.
"The dead drop is the restroom toilet at the Gulf station at the corner of Commercial Ave. and Georges Rd."

No Surprises Wedding

A "No Surprises Wedding," or NSW, is a wedding invitation designation that tells attendees that there can be no unplanned announcements, engagements, events or speeches at the wedding - all actions must be pre-approved by the couple. Anyone who performs an unapproved "surprise" will be asked to leave the wedding early.

This designation comes from Reddit, where so many stories of bad wedding behavior indicated a need to communicate expectations for the wedding behavior of attendees.
You are cordially invited to the nuptials of Brian and Tom on October 31 at noon.

Please note that this wedding is child-free (under 10) and a No Surprises Wedding (NSW). Reach out to wedding planner Sami Smith to request approvals or exceptions; please note that exceptions will be rare. Limited child care for under-10s will be available. All approvals will be noted and included in planning. Unapproved, or surprise exceptions, will result in guests being asked to leave.
